The compounds of formula I are inhibitors of metalloproteases such as matrix metalloproteases and sheddases, and are useful in treating diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, neoplastic diseases, allergies and all those diseases wherein inhibition of MMPs is desirable.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds which are useful in treating diseases, pathologic conditions and disorders associated with unwanted metalloprotease activity. The instant invention is also directed to matrix metalloprotease (MMPS) inhibitors and their use as medicinal agents. The present invention further relates to novel compounds and medical methods of treatment of many diseases, and other disorders especially those wherein inhibition of metalloprotease activity would be of benefit. More particularly, the present invention relates to cyclic hydroxamate derivatives and their use as MMP's inhibitors especially sheddase inhibitors and metalloprotease-disintegrins (ADAMs) inhibitors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Most tissues exist in a highly regulated dynamic equilibrium wherein new tissue is formed and existing tissue is degraded and eliminated. The degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), including connective tissue and basement membranes, is effected by the metalloproteinases which are released from connective tissue and invading inflammatory cells. Excessive unregulated activity of these enzymes can result in undesirable tissue destruction and their activity is regulated at the transcription level, by controlled activation of the latent proenzyme and, after translation, by intracellular specific inhibitory factors such as TIMP (“Tissue Inhibitors of MetalloProteinase”) or by more general proteinase inhibitors such as α2-macroglobulins.

Several structurally related metalloproteases (MPs) are known to play an important role in the breakdown of structural proteins. These metalloproteases typically act on the intercellular matrix, and thus are involved in tissue breakdown and remodeling. Such proteins have been referred to as metalloproteases or MPs. There are several different families of MPs, classified by sequence homology. Several families of known MPs, as well as examples thereof, are disclosed in the art.

These MPs include Matrix-Metallo Proteases [MMPs], zinc metalloproteases, many of the membrane-bound metalloproteases, TNF converting enzymes, angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACEs), disintegrins, including ADAMs (See Wolfsberg et al, 131 J. Cell Bio. 275-78 Oct., 25 1995), and the enkephalinases. Examples of MPs include human skin fibroblast collagenase, human skin fibroblast gelatinase, human sputum collagenase, aggrecanase and gelatinase, and human stromelysin. Collagenase, stromelysin, aggrecanase and related enzymes are thought to be important in mediating the symptomatology of a number of diseases.

Zinc proteases are subdivided according to the primary structure of their catalytic sites and include gluzincin, metzincin, inuzincin, carboxypeptidase, and DD carboxypeptidase subgroups (Hooper N M, 1994, FEBS Lett, 354:1-6). The metzincin subgroup is further divided into serralysins, astacins, matrixins, and adamalysins (Stocker W and Bode W, 1995, Curr Opin Struct Biol, 5:383-390).

The matrixins include the matrix metalloproteases, or MMPs. MMPs constitute a family of structurally similar zinc-containing metalloproteases, which are involved in the remodeling and degradation of extracellular matrix proteins, both as part of normal physiological processes and in pathological conditions. For a review see Bode, W et al., 1996, Adv Exp Med Biol, 389:1-11. Connective tissue, extracellular matrix constituents and basement membranes are the biological materials that provide rigidity, differentiation, attachment sites and, in some cases, elasticity to biological systems. Connective tissue components include, for example, collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, fibronectin and laminin that form the scaffold for all human tissues. Under normal conditions, connective tissue turnover and/or repair processes are controlled and in equilibrium. The loss of this balance, for whatever reason, leads to a number of disease states. Inhibition of the enzymes responsible for loss of equilibrium provides a control mechanism for this tissue decomposition and, therefore, a treatment for these diseases. The uncontrolled breakdown of connective tissue by metalloproteases is a feature of many pathological conditions.

Besides a role in the regulation of extracellular matrix, there is also evidence to suggest that MMPs mediate the migration of inflammatory cells into tissues (Moscatelli D and Rifkin D B, 1988, Biochim Biophys Acta, 948: 67-85). Several reports have demonstrated that various MMPs can activate a variety of important non-matrix proteins, including cytokines, chemokines, integrins, and antimicrobial peptides (see Parks W C, 2002, J Clin Invest, 110:613-4). Many of the human MMPs are over-expressed in human tumors and are associated with peritumor tissue degradation and metastasis formation. Another important function of certain MMPs is to activate various enzymes, including other MMPs, by cleaving the pro-domains from their protease domains. Thus some MMPs act to regulate the activities of other MMPs, so that over-production of one MMP may lead to excessive proteolysis of extracellular matrix by another. It has also been reported that MMPs can cleave and thereby inactivate the endogenous inhibitors of other proteinases such as elastase (Winyard P G et al., 1991, FEBS Letts, 279: 91-94). Inhibitors of MMPs could thus influence the activity of other destructive proteinases by modifying the level of their endogenous inhibitors. In addition, increasing or maintaining the levels of an endogenous or administered serine protease inhibitor supports the treatment and prevention of diseases such as emphysema, pulmonary diseases, inflammatory diseases and diseases of aging (such as loss of skin or organ stretch and resiliency.) Thus, MMPs should not be viewed solely as proteinases of ECM catabolism, but rather as extracellular processing enzymes involved in regulating cell-cell and cell-ECM signaling events.

The adamalysins include the reprolysins, snake venom metalloproteases and the ADAMs. The ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) are an important family of metalloproteases. They are a family of type I transmembrane glycoproteins that are important in diverse biologic processes, such as cell adhesion and the proteolytic shedding of cell surface receptors. ADAM family members have been identified from mammalian and non-mammalian sources, including Xenopus, Drosophila, and Caenorhabditis elegans. Members of the family have a modular design, characterized by the presence of metalloprotease and integrin receptor-binding activities, and a cytoplasmic domain that in many family members specifies binding sites for various signal-transducing proteins. The ADAMs family has been implicated in the control of membrane fusion, cytokine, growth factor and growth factor receptor shedding, and cell migration, as well as processes such as muscle development, fertilization, neurogenesis, and cell fate determination. Loss of regulation can lead to disease and pathology. Pathologies such as infertility, inflammation and cancer have been shown to involve ADAMs family members. For a review, see Wolfsberg T G and White J M, 1998, ADAM metalloproteinases. In Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes (Barrett A J, Rawlings N D and Woessner J F eds), p.1310-1313, Academic Press, London as well as Seals D F and Courtneidge S A, 2003, Genes and Development, 17:7-30.

Some specific examples of important ADAM metalloproteases include the TNFα-converting enzyme, TACE or ADAM17, that is currently an important target for anti-inflammatory drugs (Moss M L et al., 2001, Drug Discov Today, 6:417-426 and Black R A; 2002, Int J Biochem Cell Biol, 34:1-5). Other members of the family are also likely to be good therapeutic targets. ADAM8 has been reported to be expressed almost exclusively in cells of the immune system, particularly B-cells, monocytes, eosinophils and granulocytes. ADAM8 therefore represents a therapeutic target for human immunologically-based diseases. ADAM15 is found in human aortic smooth muscle and cultured umbilical vein endothelial cells. While ADAM15 is not expressed in normal blood vessels, it has been detected in developing atherosclerotic lesions (Herren B et al., 1997, FASEB J, 11:173-180), and has also been shown to be up-regulated in osteoarthritic versus normal human cartilage (Bohm B B et al., 1999, Arthritis Rheum, 42:1946-1950). Thus ADAM15 may play a role in atherosclerosis and cartilage degenerative diseases. In addition, ADAM15 knockout mice have reduced neovascularization and smaller tumors compared to wildtype controls, suggesting that ADAM 15 may also be important in cancer (Horiuchi, K et al., 2003, Mol Cell Biol, 23:5614-5624.) The lymphocyte-specific expression of the ADAM28 suggests that it may have an important immunological function.

Excessive production of IgE is believed to be a major mediator of allergic responses. CD23, the low affinity receptor for IgE, is subject to ADAM-type metalloprotease-dependent proteolytic release of soluble extracellular fragments, which have been shown to cause upregulation of IgE production and induction of inflammatory cytokines (see Novak N et al, 2001, Curr Opin Immunol, 13:721-726 and Mayer R J et al., 2002, Inflamm Res, 51:85-90). Increased levels of soluble CD23 have been observed in allergic asthma, in chronic B-lymphocytic leukemia and in rheumatoid arthritis. Inhibition of the enzyme(s) responsible for CD23 processing may offer a therapeutic approach for the treatment of various immune-based diseases. ADAM metalloproteases also appear to be responsible for the release or shedding of soluble receptors (for example, CD30 and receptors for TNF), adhesion molecules (for example, L-selectin, ICAM-1, fibronectin), growth factors and cytokines (for example Fas ligand, TGF-α, EGF, HB-EGF, SCF IL-6, IL-1, TSH and M-CSF), and growth factor receptors (for example EGFR family members, such as Her-2 and Her-4, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of different types of cancer) (Yarden Y and Sliwkowski M X, 2001, Nature Reviews 2:127-137). For example, Her-2 is over-expressed in 25-30% of human breast cancers and is associated with an increased risk of relapse and death (Slamon D J et al, 1987, Science, 235:177-182). ADAM17 has recently been shown to be critical for the regulated shedding of Her-4 (Rio C et al, 2000, J Biol Chem, 275:10379-10387). The protease responsible for Her-2 cleavage, known as Her-2 sheddase, is an unknown MMP that may also be a member of the ADAM family (Codony-Servat J et al, 1999, Cancer Res 59:1196-1201). Modulation of this activity might therefore have an important role in the modulation of human disease. For a review of the sheddase activity of ADAMs see Moss M L and Lambert N H, 2002, Essays Biochem, 38:141-153.

ADAM-TS (also shown as “ADAMTS”) proteases have been identified as members of the ADAM family. These proteins are novel in that they contain unique thrombospondin (TS) type I motifs in addition to some of the structurally conserved domains of other ADAM family members. The ADAM-TSs are also distinguished from the ADAMs by their lack of cysteine-rich, EGF-like, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains. ADAM-TS proteins have also been shown to be associated with a number of pathological or human disease states. For example, ADAMTS-1 is a tumor-selective gene expressed in colon tumor cells and is also an inflammation-associated protein. A human ortholog of ADAMTS-1, known as METH-1, and the related protein METH-2 have been recently shown to have antiangiogenic activity, and these or other ADAM-TS family members may play important roles in regulating vascular development. ADAMTS-2 has been implicated in the normal development of the skin. This enzyme was long known as procollagen N-proteinase, a proteinase that proteolytically removes amino peptides in the processing of type I and type II procollagens to collagens, and it was shown to be deficient in the skin of individuals with the inherited connective tissue disorder type VIIC Ehlers-Danros syndrome. ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-11, are known as aggrecanase-1 and -2 because of their ability to cleave specific sites in aggrecan, a proteoglycan that maintains the mechanical properties of cartilage. Progressive degradation and depletion of aggrecan has been implicated in degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. For a review of the ADAM-TS metalloproteases see Tang B L, 2001, Int J Biochem Cell Biol, 33:33-44 and Kaushal G P and S V Shah, 2000, J Clin Invest 105:1335-1337.

The metalloproteases are one of the older classes of proteinases and are found in bacteria, fungi as well as in higher organisms. Many enzymes contain the sequence HEXXH, which provides two histidine ligands for the zinc, whereas the third ligand is either a glutamic acid (thermolysin, neprilysin, alanyl aminopeptidase) or a histidine (astacin). Other families exhibit a distinct mode of binding of the Zn atom. Metalloproteases have therefore been isolated from a number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources. Acidic metalloproteases have been isolated from broad-banded copperhead and rattlesnake venoms. Neutral metalloproteases, specifically those having optimal activity at neutral pH have, for example, been isolated from Aspergillus sojae. Alkaline metalloproteases, for example, have been isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the insect pathogen Xenorhabdus luminescens. Inhibition of microbial metalloproteases may lead to growth inhibition and represent an antibiotic strategy. Inhibition of metalloproteases associated with snake venom or insect toxicity may also lead to new therapeutic strategies.

Potential therapeutic indications of MP inhibitors have been discussed in the literature. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,500,847 (Bayer Corporation), U.S. Pat. No. 6,268,379 (DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company), U.S. Pat. No. 5,968,795 (Bayer Corporation), U.S. Pat. No. 5,892,112 (Glycomed Incorporated and The University of Florida), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,872,152 (British Biotech Pharmaceuticals Limited).

Matrix metalloprotease inhibitors are useful in treating diseases caused, at least in part, by breakdown of structural proteins. Although a variety of MMP inhibitors have been prepared in the relevant field, there is a continuing need for potent matrix metalloprotease inhibitors useful in treating diseases caused, at least in part, by breakdown of structural proteins. Applicants have found that, surprisingly, the compounds of the present invention are potent metalloprotease inhibitors.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The instant invention provides new compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of matter for treating pathological conditions which are associated with the rapid unregulated breakdown of extracellular matrix tissue by MMPs including MMP 12 and MMP 13. Some of these conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, septic arthritis, corneal, epidermal or gastric ulceration; periodontal disease, proteinuria, coronary thrombosis associated with atherosclerotic plaque rupture and bone disease. The new compounds of the invention are also useful for treating tumor metastasis and angiogenesis which also appears to be dependent on MMP activity. Also, since the cycle of tissue damage and response is associated with a worsening of the disease state, limiting MMP-induced tissue damage due to elevated levels of the proteinases with the specific inhibitors of the instant invention is a generally useful therapeutic approach to many of these debilitating diseases. The compounds of the invention are also inhibitors TNFα converting enzyme and sheddases including Her2 sheddase and HB-EGF sheddase and other growth factor and cytokine sheddase.

The instant invention also provides novel compounds, novel compositions, methods of their use and methods of their manufacture, such compounds generally pharmacologically useful as agents in those disease states alleviated by the inhibition or antagonism of matrix metalloproteases, metalloproteases, ADAMs, ADAM-TS and/or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF), which pathologically involve aberrant extracellular matrix degradation, shedding of cell surface protein ectodomains, and/or TNF synthesis, such disease states including arthritis, tumor metastasis and diabetes. The aforementioned pharmacologic activities are useful in the treatment of mammals.

More specifically, the instant invention relates to new anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory cyclic hydroxamate bioactive compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof that act via antagonism of MMPs, ADAMs, ADAMTS, sheddase such as Her2 sheddase and therefore leading to new therapeutic modalities.

The present invention also relates to compounds that inhibit metalloproteases such as MMP12, ADAMs family metalloproteases including TNF α-convertase, Adam-10 and related sheddases such as Her2 sheddase, heparin-binding EGF sheddase and are therefore useful in the treatment of mammals having disease states alleviated by the inhibition of such metalloprotease activity.

The instant invention also relates to inhibitors of ADAM metalloproteases which are responsible for the release or shedding of soluble receptors (for example, CD30 and receptors for TNF), adhesion molecules (for example, L-selectin, ICAM-1, fibronectin), growth factors and cytokines (for example Fas ligand, TGF-α, EGF, HB-EGF, SCF IL-6, IL-1, TSH and M-CSF), and growth factor receptors (for example EGFR family members, such as Her-2 and Her-4, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of different types of cancer.)

Unless otherwise indicated, the compounds provided in the above formulae I-IV are meant to include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs thereof, enantiomers, diastereomers, racemic mixtures thereof, crystalline forms, non-crystalline forms, amorphous forms thereof and solvates thereof.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include salts of the active compounds which are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, phosphoric, partially neutralized phosphoric acids, sulfuric, partially neutralized sulfuric, hydroiodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like. Certain specific compounds of the present invention may contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.

The neutral forms of the compounds of the present invention may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention.

As noted above, some of the compounds of formulae I, IA, II, IIA, III, IIIA, IV, IVA, V, VA, VI, and VIA possess chiral or asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, geometric isomers and individual optical isomers are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention.

Some of the compounds of formulae I, IA, II, IIA, III, IIIA, IV, IVA, V, VA, VI, and VIA can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.

In addition to the above-described salt forms, the present invention also embraces the compounds of formulae I-VI in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex-vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.

The novel compounds of the present invention may be prepared in a variety of ways well known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. The compounds of the present invention can be synthesized using the methods as hereinafter described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry or variations thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below. The entire contents of all references cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference.

The novel compounds of this invention may be prepared using the reaction pathways and techniques as described below.

The inventive compounds, and the salts, solvates, and prodrugs thereof, may be prepared by employing the techniques available in the art using starting materials that are readily available. Exemplary methods of preparing the inventive compounds are described below. In the following schemes, unless otherwise indicated, Z, P, R, R¹, R², R³, R⁴, D, Q, L, T, X, and Y, etc. are as previously defined herein.

The inventive compounds of the formula I and IA wherein Z is hydroxamic acid group can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula 1a (where Z is a carboxylic acid) with hydroxylamine in the presence of a suitable peptide coupling reagent. Illustrative examples of suitable coupling agents including 1,1′-carbonyl-diimidazole, N-(dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethyl carbodiimide, benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluoro-phosphate (“PyBOP”), or propanephosphonic anhdride in an inert polar solvent, such as dimethylformamide (“DMF”).

Alternatively, the coupling reactions described above can be carried out with compounds of formula 1a and oxygen-protected compounds of hydroxylamine (i.e., a suitable protecting group known to those skilled in the art, such as benzyl, t-butyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, or t-butyldiphenylilyl, and/or described in T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991)) to give compounds of formula 2/Deprotection of compounds of the formula 2 provides compounds of formula (I). Suitable methods of deprotecting compounds of the formula 2 are known in the art, for example, as described in T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991).

Compounds of the formula 1a can be prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the corresponding ester 1b (where alkyl is a suitable group such as methyl, ethyl, allyl, benzyl- or t-butyl) using a suitable aqueous base, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide, preferably in a homogeneous aqueous-organic solvent mixture. Alternatively, these compounds can also be prepared by acid hydrolysis of the corresponding ester using a suitable aqueous acid, such as hydrochloric acid in aqueous dioxane, at a suitable temperature. Other methods recognizable by those skilled in the art as suitable for converting esters to acids can also be employed, such as hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ester using hydrogen and palladium on carbon, acid-promoted cleavage of t-butyl esters under anhydrous conditions, and palladium-catalyzed cleavage of allyl esters.

Alternatively, compounds of formula I can also be prepared from the ester compound of formula 1b via several routes known in the literature, such as by treatment of the esters 1b with hydroxylamine under basic conditions such as KOH or NaOMe in solvents such as methanol, by converting the esters 1b to oxygen-protected hydroxyamic acid under similar conditions followed by subsequent deprotection as previously described or by using Weinreb's trimethylaluminum reaction conditions (J. I. Levin, E. Turos, S. M. Weinreb, Syn. Comm. 1982, 12, 989) or Roskamp's bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]tin reagent (W.-B. Wang, E. J. Roskamp, J. Org. Chem. 1992, 57, 6101). The compounds of formula 1b with different substiutents R, R¹, and R² can be synthesized following a variety of literature routes by funtionalizing the corresponding ring A compounds of formula 3 or 16 as outlined in Scheme 2-5. One representative approach as shown in Scheme 2 is selective reduction of the ketone of formula 3 with appropriate metal-hydride system known in art, such as sodium borohydride in an aprotic solvent. Alkylation of the alcohol compound of formula 4 with the desired alkyl halide or alkyl sulfonate under basic conditions as reviewed in “Comprehensive Organic Transformations, A Guide to Funtional Group Preparations” (R. C. Larock, Wiley-VCH, 1999) provides ether compounds of formula 5. Alternatively, ether compound 5 may be prepared by Mitsnobu reaction as known in the art. The alcohol compounds of formula 4 can also be converted to carbonates of formula 6 or carbamates of formula 7 via several approaches known in the literatures, such as by reacting alcohol of formula 4 with desired chloroformates or carbamyl chlorides in the presence of a base, or by treatment of the alcohol of formula 4 with carbonyl diimidazole or p-nitrophenyl chloroformate followed by reaction of the resultant active carbamate or carbonate with desired alcohols or amines.

Alternatively, the ketone of formula 3 could be subjected to reductive amination with desired amines to afford the amines of formular 8 (Scheme 3) following a variety of literature procedures such as reviewed in “Comprehensive Organic Synthesis” (B. M. Trost, I. Fleming, Eds. Pergamon, 1991, Vol 8, Part 1.2, P25). The amines of formula 8 could then be further transformed into amides of formula 9, sulfonamides of formula 10, carbamates of formula 11, or ureas of formula 12 using methods known in the art.

Alternatively, the ketones of formula 3 could be subjected to carbonyl homologation as outlines in Scheme 4 and reviewed in “Comprehensive Organic Transformations, A Guide to Funtional Group Preparations” (R. C. Larock, Wiley-VCH, 1999). For example, treatment of compounds of formula 3 with trimethylsilyl cyanide in the presence of tin (II) chloride followed by acid hydrolysis (Syn. Commun. 1982, 12, 763), or, by reacting with 1,3-dithianes anion followed by acid catalyzed hydrolysis (Tetrahedron Lett. 1988, 29, 1493) or mecury salt catalyzed hydrolysis (J. Org. Chem. 1991, 56, 4499). Where desired, compounds of formula 3 can also be subjected to Wittig and related reaction conditions followed by catalytic hydrogenation to reduce the resultant double bond to provide compounds of formula 13 as shown in Scheme 4 (Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, B. M. Trost, I. Fleming, Eds. Pergamon, 1991, Vol 1, Part 3.1, P729). The esters of formula 13 can then be transformed to amides of formula 14 using the methods described in Scheme 1. On the other hand, the esters of formula 13 can be converted to aldehydes of formula 15 by methods recognizable by those skilled in the art; for example, such as by selective hydrolysis of the ester followed by reduction of the resultant acid to form the corresponding alcohols with borane, then oxidation of the alcohol to form the corresponding aldehydes. The latter aldehydes can be further functionalized using reaction methodology in an analogous manner as those described in Schemes 2 and 3.

Alternatively, ketone of formula 3 can be subjected to Grignard or related lithium anion reaction conditions to generate a tertiary alcohol as depicted in Scheme 5. Or, ketone of formula 3 can also be subjected to reactions with allyltrimethylsilane catalyzed by lewis acid to generate corresponding tertiary alcohol. The tertiary alcohols can be further derivatized as described in Scheme 2. Alternatively, the ketone of formula 3 can also be subjected to Wittig reaction conditions to furnish a vinyl compound which can be oxidized to an epoxide (Scheme 5). The epoxide can be opened by HO(CR^(d)R^(d1))_(r)M or HN(R^(a))(CR^(d)R^(d1))_(r)M to afforded vicinal diol mono-ether or vicinal amino alcohol, respectively. The latter can be further modified as described in Scheme 2 and 3 when (CR^(d)R^(d1))_(r)M is hydrogen.

When the ring A is an aza-ring, as shown in formula 16 in Scheme 6, the compounds can be converted directly to formula 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, for example by treatment with a suitable alkylating or acylating agent, such as an alkyl halide, sulfonyl chloride, carboxylic acid chloride, chloroformate or carbamyl chloride, respectively, in a suitable solvent at an appropriate temperature. Alternatively, the compounds of formula 16 can also be alkylated to yield formula 22, which could then be further functionalized as described in Scheme 4.

The ring A compounds of formula 3 and 16 can be synthesized using the methods outlined in Scheme 7-15, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations therein as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below.

The 5-oxo-piperidine of formula 30 and 31 can be prepared using the procedures described in Scheme 7. L-Aspartic acid β-tert-butyl ester monohydrate is treated with 2 equivalents of benzyl bromide in the presence of DBU in toluene to afford mono-benzyl amine 23. Alkylation of 23 with 1′-chloro-2-chloromethyl-1-propene gives allyl chloride 24, which is converted to the corresponding allyl iodide 25 by the treatment with sodium iodide in acetone. The latter is reacted with LiHMDS to yield the piperidine ring compound 26. After changing the benzyl protection in 26 to Cbz protection, the resultant alkene 27 was subjected to ozonelization to provide the ketone compound 28. The latter can be de-protected by catalyzed hydrogenation and then reacts with an appropriate amines to generate the corresponding ketone 30. Alternatively, the amino acid 29 can be subjected to coupling with benzyl protected hydroxylamine in the presence of BOP to furnish benzyl protected hydroxyamide 31, which could then be converted to ketone 32.

Cyclohexanones of formula 40 and 41 can be synthesized as shown in Scheme 8. The optically pure (1S, 2R)-1-methyl-cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalate is transferred to tert-butyl ester 33 followed by hydrolysis of the methyl ester to give the corresponding acid 34. The latter reacts with potassium tert-butoxide to yield the trans-compound 35. Treatment of 35 with iodine affords lactone 36. After removal of the iodide by treatment with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, the lactone 37 is treated with benzyl alcohol to provide a differentiated bis-ester 38, which can be oxidazided to give ketone 39 under Dess-Martin oxidation or Swern oxidation conditions. Ketone 39 can then be transformed selectively to ketone 40 or 41 by deprotection and coupling with desired amines, respectively. Alternatively, ketone 39 can be prepared from corresponding cyclohexene directly via Wacker oxidation.

The cyclopentanones of formula 46 and 47 can be synthesized as illustrated in Scheme 9. The optically pure (1S, 2R)-1-methyl-cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalate is converted to trans-isomer 42, followed by treatment with 2-methylpropene in the presence of sulfuric acid to furnish diester 43. The cyclohexene 43 is oxidized to the bis-acid and cyclized to the ketone 45 (for a related example refer to: Gais et al. J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 5115). The ketone 45 is then converted to 46 or 47 as shown in Scheme 9.

The tetrahydropyran compounds of formula 54 and 55 can be prepared starting from (S)-(+)-2,2-dimethyl-5-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-acetic acid as illustrated in Scheme 10. After being protected as benzyl ester 48, the dioxolane ring is hydrolyzed to give methyl ester 49. Reaction of 49 with 1-chloro-2-chloromethyl-1-propene under basic conditions provides allyl chloride 50, which is converted to iodide 51. Treatment of 51 with LiHMDS yields tetrahydropyran 52. The latter can then be ozonized to give ketone 53 and subsequently 54 and 55 as shown in Scheme 10.

The tetrahydrofuran compounds of formula 62 and 63 can be obtained as described in Scheme 11. Protection of hydroxy compound 49 as silyl ether 56 followed by reaction of the latter with allyl iodide in the presence of KHMDS generates compound 57 as a major diastereoisomer. After deprotection, the hydroxy compound 58 is treated with iodine to furnish 59. Iodide 59 can then be converted to aldehyde 61 via an alcohol intermediate 60. The coupling of the aldehyde 60 with the desired amines as shown in Scheme 111 then provides tetrahydrofuran compounds of formula 62 and 63.

A series of trans-2,3-pyrrolidinedicarboxylate of formula 68 and 69 can be prepared using the sequence shown in Scheme 12. Alkylation of Cbz-protected L-aspartic acid ester with allyl iodide using LiHMDS as a base followed by chromatography to separate the two produced diastereoisomers yields the desired syn-diastereoisomer 64. Ozonolysis of 64 converts it to an aldehyde 65. Hydrogenation of 65 leads to a ring closure to generate a pyrrolidine 66. Derivatization at the dicarboxylic acid as described in Scheme 7 affords compounds of formula 68 and 69.

The 5-formyl pyrrolidine compounds of formula 76 and 77 can be obtained in analogue to the preparation of 5-formyl tetrahydrofuran as described in Scheme 10 and is illustrated in Scheme 13.

A series of compounds of formula 81 and 82 are prepared following the sequence outlined in Scheme 14. Pyrrolidine 79 is prepared following a dipolar addition procedure documented in the literature (M. Joucla, J. Mortier, Chem. Commun. 1985, 1566). After Boc-pretection of the pyrrolidine, compound 80 can be transformed to the desired compounds of formula 81 and 82, respectively.

Compounds of formula (I) wherein ring A is piperidine (shown below) can be prepared following literature procedures (C.-B. Xue, X. He, J. Roderick, R. L. Corbertt, C. P. Decicco, J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 865).

It should be noted that the synthesis shown above could be modified to construct the R, R¹ and R² before coupling of ring A with amines to form the —D-E-G-Q-L-T-X-Y fragment. One stereomer of a compound of formula (I) may display better activity compared with the others. Thus the following stereochemistries are considered to be a part of the present invention.

When required, separation of the racemic material can be achieved by HPLC using a chiral column or by a resolution using a resolving agent such as camphonic chloride as documented in literature (S. H. Wilen, “Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions, 1972) or using enantiomerically pure acids and bases. A chiral compounds of Formula (I) may also be directly synthesized using a chiral catalyst or a chiral ligand (E. Jacobsen, Acc. Chem. Res. 2000, 33, 421) or using other enantio- and diastereo-selective reactions and reagents known to one skilled in the art of asymmetric synthesis.

For example, the axial hydroxy compound shown in Scheme 15 could be prepared by reduction with L-Selectride in THF. The axial and equatorial hydroxy isomers were obtained in a ratio of 15:1. On the other hand, the equatorial hydroxy compound could be obtained, by reduction with sodium boronhydride in methanol, as a separable 11:1 mixture of equatorial and axial diastereoisomers.

The alkene compound in Scheme 16 could be selective reduced to axial isomer in 92% d.e. under homogeneous conditions.

Intermediates of the present invention with a formula -Q-Y (P, wherein E, G, L, T, and X are absent) can be synthesized using strategies loosely grouped into three types: synthesis in which the ring Q is attached to the ring Y through the ring nitrogen; carbon-carbon bond formation between the two cyclic structures; and synthesis in which the ring Q is formed during synthesis. This is illustrated in Scheme 15-18 using aryl piperazine and aryl piperidine and aryl pyrrolidine as examples, respectively (wherein Q is piperazine, piperidine or pyrroline; and Y is aryl).

Aryl piperazines can be prepared by reacting Boc-piperazine with a variety of boronic acid under the catalysis of copper (II) acetate (Combs, A. P.; Tadesse, S.; Rafalski, M.; Haque, T. S.; Lam, P. Y. S. Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry 2002, 4, 179), or by reacting with a variety of aryl halide using Hartwig's catalyst (Louie, J; Hartwig, J. F. Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36, 3609). After removal of the Boc group, compound 90 can be coupled with ring A compounds to furnish compounds of formula 91 (Scheme 17). It should be noted that the arylpiprazine can also be prepared through classical ring closure of appropriately substituted anilines and bis(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride in the presence of base (E. Mishani, et. al. Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37, 319), or through direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the piperazine (S. M. Dankwardt, et al, Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36, 4923).

Aryl piperidines such as 36 may be synthesized as described in Scheme 18. tert-Butoxycarbonylpiperid-4-one is converted to the enol triflate 92 using LDA and N-phenyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide. Suzuki-type coupling with arylboronic acid then produces the aryltetrahydropyridine 94 (M. G. Bursavich, D. H. Rich, Org. Lett. 2001, 3, 2625). Compound 94 can also be prepared from Suzuki-type coupling of aryl halide with enol boronate 93. After deprotection, compound 95 can be converted to formula 96. The aryltetrahydropyridine can be reduced to saturated aryl piperidine under catalytic hydrogenation condition where desired. It should be noted that compound 94 can also be prepared though classic direct nucleaphilic addition of aryl anion to a piperidone followed by dehydration of the resultant alcohol compound.

Alternatively, aryl piperidine derivatives can be prepared by coupling of 4-bromopyridine with a boronic acid using Pd(PPh₃)₄ as a catalyst followed by hydrogenation as shown in Scheme 19.

Phenylpyrrolidine 100 can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 20. Optical pure (R)-phenylsuccinic acid is reduced to diol 97 followed by mesylation to afford di-mesylate 98. Treatment of 98 with benzylamine in the presence of triethylamine provides pyrrolidine 99, which after hydrogenation provides 100. Alternatively, refluxing of (R)-phenylsuccinic acid in acetyl chloride affords the corresponding anhydride 102. After treatment with ammonia and reflux in acetyl chloride again, imide 103 is obtained and then subjects to LAH reduction to give the phenylpyrrolidine 100. Reaction of 100 with ring A compound generated formula 101. It should be noted that aryl pyrrolidine compounds also can be synthesized through Suzuki-type coupling via an enol triflate or enol boronate intermediates as described in Scheme 16. It also can be prepared through classic direct nucleaphilic addition of aryl anion to a pyrrolidone followed by dehydration of the resultant alcohol compound and then asymmetric hydrogenation.

Intermediates of the present invention with a formula -Q-L-T-Y (P, wherein E, G, and X are absent) can be synthesized as exemplified in Scheme 21 (wherein Q is phenyl, L is oxygen, T is methylene, and Y is methylquilonine). The starting material 2-methylquilonine is converted to alcohol 104 followed by treatment with thionyl chloride to yield 105. Reaction of 105 with phenol 106 under basic conditions provides 107. The latter can be de-protected by treating with TFA to afford aniline 108, which can then be transformed to intermediate of formula 109.

Other possible P groups (wherein -D-E-G-Q-L-T-X-Y are as previously defined herein) can be prepared using methodologies known in the art. Specific examples of methods used to prepare the inventive compounds are described below along with illustrative preferred embodiments of the inventive compounds of the formulae (I), (II), and (III) or their pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts or solvates.

Biological Experimental Procedures

The capacity of the novel compounds of the invention to inhibit TNFα, or inhibit MMP function i.e., sheddase inhibition can be determined using a suitable screen (e.g., high through-put assay). For example, an agent can be tested in an extracellular acidification assay, calcium flux assay, ligand binding assay or chemotaxis assay. For example, the capacity of the compounds of general formula (I) to act as inhibitors of the production of TNFα may be determined using the following procedure. A 100 μM solution of the inhibitor being tested or dilutions thereof is incubated at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO₂ with THP-1 cells (human monocytes) suspended in RPMI 1640 medium and 20 μM β-mercaptoethanol at a cell density of 1×10⁶/ml and stimulated with LPS. After 18 hours the supernatant is assayed for the levels of TNFα using a commercially available ELISA kit. The activity in the presence of 0.1 mM inhibitor or dilutions thereof is compared to activity in a control devoid of inhibitor and results reported as that inhibitor concentration effecting 50% inhibition of the production of TNFα.

Example 509

PBMC Assay Measuring TNFα Activity

A leukophoresis (Biological Specialties, Comlmar Pa.) was obtained from normal drug-free (no aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs, etc.) donors. In a 50 ml conical tube (VWR, NJ), there was added 20 mls of blood and 20 mls of sterile 0.9% saline (Baxter Healthcare, Dearfield, Ill.) and mixed well. Underlay 10 mls of endotoxin free ficoll paque (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) and spinned at 3000 RPM for 30 minutes. The layer of white blood cells was removed and washed with 50 mls 0.9% saline. Cells are then counted and there is added 0.250 ml to 96 well plate (Costar/Corning VWR, NJ) at 2×10 6 c/ml, in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco BRL). Compounds were added and preincubated with cells for 10 min before they were added LPS (Calbiochem, CA) at lug/ml for 5 hours. Supernatent was collected and assayed for TNFα production by standard sandwich ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.). Compound inhibition was determined relative to cells cultured with LPS alone.

Example 510

Assay for Her-2 Sheddase Activity

A human breast cell cancer line BT474 (ATCC, Manassas, Va.), was seeded at 2×10⁴ cells/well in 100 ul in a 96 well plate (Costar/Corning VWR, NJ) in RPMI 1640 media (In Vitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, Lenexa, Kans.), and incubated overnight at 37° C., 5% CO₂. The following morning media was removed and fresh media was added back at 100 ul/well. Compounds were added at appropriate concentrations and the cells were incubated for 72 hour at 37° C., 5% CO₂. Supernatants were removed and either tested immediately or stored at −20° C. until testing can be performed. Supernatants were tested at a 1/20 dilution for inhibition of Her-2 sheddase by commercial ELISA (Oncogene Research, San Diego, Calif.)). Compound inhibition was determined relative to cells cultured alone.

The compounds of the invention are administered to a mammal, such as a human, but can also be administered therapeutically to other mammals such as an animal in need of veterinary treatment, e.g., domestic animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), livestock animals (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and the like) and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like). The mammal treated in the methods of the invention is a subject, male or female, in whom modulation of matrix metalloprotease activity is desired. The term modulation is intended to encompass antagonism, agonism, partial antagonism and/or partial agonism.

In the present specification, the term therapeutically effective amount means the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, non-human animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician.

The compounds of the invention are administered in therapeutic effective amounts to treat a disease for example such as rheumatoid arthritis. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound is that amount which results in the inhibition of one or more of the processes mediated by matrix metalloproteases in a subject with a disease associated with aberrant MMPs activity. Alternatively, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound is the quantity required to achieve a desired therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect, such as an amount which results in the prevention of, or a decrease in, the symptoms associated with a disease associated with aberrant MMP activity.

Other diseases or conditions in which undesirable inflammatory responses are to be inhibited can be treated, including, but not limited to, reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, certain hematologic malignancies, cytokine-induced toxicity (e.g., septic shock, endotoxic shock), polymyositis, dermatomyositis.

The compounds represented by Formulae I, II, and III of the invention can be administered in such oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustained-release or timed-release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions, syrups, and emulsions. They may also be administered in intravenous (bolus or infusion), intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or intramuscular form, all using dosage forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts. They can be administered alone, but will generally be administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.

The dosage regimen for the compounds of the present invention will, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode and route of administration; the metabolic stability, rate of excretion, drug combination, and length of action of that compound the species, age, sex, health, medical condition, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; the specific route of administration, the renal and hepatic function of the patient, and the desired effect. A physician or veterinarian can determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent, counter, or arrest the progress of the specific disorder for which treatment is necessary.

Generally, the daily oral dosage of each active ingredient, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.0001 to 1000 mg/kg of body weight, preferably between about 0.001 to 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, and most preferably between about 0.1 to 20 mg/kg/day. For intravenous use, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 1.0 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 50.0, 75.0, 100.0, 150.0, 200.0, 250.0, 300.0, 400.0, 500.0, 600.0, 750.0, 800.0, 900.0, and 1000.0 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day, preferably once or twice per day.

The compounds of the instant invention can also be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using transdermal skin patches. When administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will of course be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.

The compounds of the invention are typically administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers (collectively referred to herein as pharmaceutical carriers) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, syrups and the like, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices.

For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component, can be combined with an oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert carrier such as lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol and the like. For oral administration in liquid form, the oral drug components can be combined with any oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Additionally, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or β-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth, or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.

The compounds of the present invention can also be provided to a patient in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholines.

The compounds of the present invention may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or poly-ethyleneoxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, copolymers of polylactic and polyglycolic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, and crosslinked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.

Dosage forms for the compounds of the invention suitable for administration may contain from about 0.1 milligram to about 100 milligrams of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.5-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Gelatin capsules can also be used as dosage forms and may contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.

When using liquid dosage forms for oral administration the formulation can contain coloring and flavoring agents to increase patient acceptance.

Generally, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, a standard reference text in the field of pharmacology.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.

The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.

For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of the present invention are employed. As used herein, topical application is also meant to include the use of mouth washes and gargles.

The pharmaceutical compositions and methods of the present invention, in addition to a compound of Formulae I, II, or III, may further comprise other therapeutically active compounds which are customarily administered in the treatment of the aforedescribed pathological conditions, provided that such combination(s) does not cause adverse reaction in the subject being treated or diminish the activity of the presently described metalloprotease inhibitors.
